MLB RUMORS & GOSSIP
Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team rocks postgame interviews
College baseball teams sure seem to have fun, and the Cincinnati Bearcats are a good example.
UC finished the regular season 24-32 and placed ninth in the Big East with a 6-18 mark, failing to qualify for the conference tournament. ... But that didn't deter the Bearcats from having a jolly good time.
There was jousting.
There was addressing of royalty.
There was swimming...

Could Braves Trade Evan Gattis?
Could Evan Gattis be a trade chip?
The Braves Evan Gattis has come on the scene and made a big splash in his rookie season. Gattis already has 10 home runs (2nd on the team and tied for 4th in the NL) in just 121 plate appearances and is second on the Braves with 27 runs-batted-in, only one behind team leader, Justin Upton.
Gattis was dynamic in the just completed six game home stand...
Stl Cardinals Garcia may never be the same after surgery
The Stl Cardinals have lost pitcher Jaime Garcia for the season because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The injury will require surgery and cost him the rest of 2013.
The lefty starter originally felt pain in his shoulder during a start in the 2012 National League Divisional Series against the Washington Nationals. He pitched two innings before being pulled from the start...
Calling up Kevin Gausman another bold move for Baltimore Orioles
No one can say the Baltimore Orioles aren't afraid to make a bold move to stay competitive in the AL East.
Well, I suppose I might have said that during the offseason when the O's didn't add an impact hitter or pitcher to capitalize on the success of their improbable run to an AL wild-card playoff spot.
But manager Buck Showalter and general manager Dan Duquette...
INCOGNITO
Jeter uses 'Philip' alias for Starbucks order
I can't quite put my finger on it, but this "Philip" character looks familiar. According to the New York Post, Derek Jeter was spotted leaving a Greenwich Village Starbucks with the name "Philip" on the side. Which means one of three things...the New York Yankees captain is still using a pseudonym when in public (he used to go by "Johnny Drama"...
Don Mattingly has his ‘Wu-Tang moment’, keeps it real, we’ll see if it goes wrong
Yesterday, Don Mattingly had what I call a “Wu-Tang moment”, inspired by the “When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong” skit on Chappelle’s Show.
Humorous? Yes, but what it mean to me is that Mattingly basically dropped all the fronts and simply went in on the Dodgers players and front office in surprisingly pointed comments.
“We’re in last place in the National League West...
GLORY OF THE REAL ESTATE
A-Rod makes $15M profit on home sale
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez reportedly turned a $15 million profit on the $30 million sale of his Miami mansion.
TIP O' THE CAP
Fan catches B.J. Upton homer with his hat
I'm always going to be ridiculously impressed by fans who catch balls with their hat (which always has seemed to be some sort of impossible task for me), and this one in Atlanta yesterday is another fantastic play to add to the ledger. In the bottom of the fourth inning of the Braves' 8-3 win over the Twins, BJ Upton homered to left field against Vance Worley. This fan proceeded...
Can Mike Trout snatch the MVP?
On May 21st, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout became the youngest American League player to hit for the cycle since 1930 at 21 years old.
The second year phenom won AL rookie of the year in 2012 and he also finished second for the league’s MVP award, behind only Miguel Cabrera.
But will Trout be able to dethrone the reigning MVP for the title in 2013?
As of May 22nd...
Orioles wear ‘Canadian Tuxedos’ for road trip to Toronto (Pictures)
Themed road trips have become increasingly popular across Major League Baseball over the past couple of years, thanks in large part to Joe Maddon’s commitment to the cause with the Tampa Bay Rays. On Wednesday, the Baltimore Orioles decided to put their own spin on the hilarious trend by sporting “Canadian Tuxedos” as they left New York to head for Toronto. As you can see from...
Michael Bourn assists on Miguel Cabrera home run (Video)
Your browser does not support iframes.
Miguel Cabrera is in search of another Triple Crown with the Detroit Tigers this year, and he certainly doesn’t need any help from his opponents along the way. Cabrera has hit five home runs in his last three games and has 13 on the season. Had it not been for a little assistance from Cleveland Indians center fielder Michael Bourn, his total...
Koji Uehara’s High Five Strikes Down On Shane Victorino With ‘Great Vengeance and Furious Anger’
Koji Uehara pitched a flawless eighth inning on Wednesday night and as he came back into the Red Sox dugout he brought the heat again, but this time with his high fives. The Red Sox players must have seen this type of enthusiasm before because all were prepared except one. Check out how Koji basically slaps an unsuspecting Shane Victorino at the end of his high five tour. Amazing...
KING OF THE HILL
Too good for Little League?
12-year-old Tanner Beebe isn't being allowed to pitch in his Massachusetts Little League, because he is simply too overwhelming for opposing batters.
Time to bench B.J. Upton?
The hot Atlanta Braves are having arguably the best offensive season in the history of the club, and one of the biggest offseason acquisitions this year, is off to his worst start ever. B.J. Upton was considered the crown jewel of the offseason for the Braves and for good reason. He was considered to have more upside than his brother Justin, and was coming off arguably his best offensive...
THAT'S NASTY
Astros vendor spotted with snow cones in stall
This could possibly be one of the most unappetizing videos ever shot and make you think twice about the ice at your local ballpark. An Aramark vendor at Monday’s Royals-Astros game at Minute Maid Park was caught bringing his tray of snow cones into a bathroom stall with him while he did his business on the toilet. The video, taken by a concerned onlooker, was shot Monday...
Nats closer rips Harper after miscue
It's been a rough couple of weeks for Nats' rising star Bryce Harper.
First, there was his embarrassing face-plant into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium. Harper tried to track down a drive off the bat of A.J. Ellis but failed to remember the important part of the term "warning track."
Take a look for yourself.
OK, so maybe it's wise for him not to do...
